Conflict with Fantastic Elasticsearch Plugin

[sagewebmaster]

Another weird plugin conflict.

I’m using Fantastic Elasticsearch to deliver the search results on our site. It works great, but I’ve discovered that Events Calendar list views order by post publish date instead of event start date when it’s active. You don’t have to actually be indexing the site with Elastic Search. Merely installing the Fantastic Elasticsearch plugin and activating is enough to affect the list view order.

I’ve tried writing a custom list view query, but can’t seem to pull the category correctly based on url slug. I either get all events or none. For example: /events/category/concerts/list/

What WP_Query argument would pull only events in the “concerts” category at that URL?

Hi and welcome back,

Sorry to hear the search plugin isn’t picking up your events. We are limited on what we’re able to support per Forum Rules, but the taxonomy used for event categories is ‘tribe_events_cat‘.

Example:

'is_tax( 'tribe_events_cat', 'concerts' );'

I hope this helps and best of luck getting the plugins to play nicely. Thanks for reaching out and have a great evening. Cheers!

Thanks, but that’s not what I said at all.

Thanks for the response,

As previously mentioned, these types of conflicts and customizations extend beyond what we’re able to cover, but our KB resource titled ‘Using tribe_get_events‘ should get you started in the right direction.

If this is out of your element, we’ve got a list of customizers that can help get the job done.

Thanks again,
Cheers!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
